Manuel Ivan Guerrero expresses concern for Florida's future, stating, "This just has me more scared for what the future's going to look like in Florida. We're having these thousand-year storms every three, four years now."

His words reflect a generational anxiety about the unpredictability of climate-change driven weather patterns.
David Wallace-Wells comments on the rise of conspiracy theories during extreme weather events by saying, "Many people are retreating into little cocoons of disinformation and paranoia, and that scares me in some ways even more than the weather itself." He points out that this tendency to cling to misinformation amid crises can be as concerning as the climate crisis itself, illustrating how fears can fuel counterproductive narratives.
